It’s strange to think that we’re nearing the end of my Twelve Days of Christmas series, but yes: it’s the time of Four Calling Birds!
This book was actually a really challenging one for me to write. I thought it would be easy – after all, I had already written eight book in this series. How hard could it be?
BWAHAHAHAHA
So hard.
The cover, thankfully, gave me a huge amount of inspiration. (Yup, I get the covers as I’m editing!)
Once I realised precisely what Lucy was trying to tell me, the story suddenly came together. It became clear that Lucy’s boldness, her determination to be heard, and her frustration with her family had to end in one way…
Welcome to the exciting new holiday series from USA Today Bestselling author Emily E K Murdoch.
It’s 1817, and Lucy always knows who will answer her call…
Lucy Fitzroy has always had one friend to rely on: Lord Percy Ardingley. Childhood friends with a unique call to encourage the other to venture out into London—and mischief—there’s nothing Lucy likes better than time with him. But for some reason, this Christmas, Percy is…different. Strange. Trying to speak to her about things she doesn’t understand.
He’s back after a few months in the country, and though Percy doesn’t look any different, something has definitely altered between the two of them. If only Lucy could keep her heart rate still for five minutes around him and understand what this strange lurch in her stomach means…
Four calling birds may have been his pet name for Lucy and three of her sisters, but it’s just her and Percy now, and she’s not sure what her friend is calling her to do.
Just when she thinks she understands him, Lucy may find that the call of her heart is stronger than the call of her mind—and the call of the bedchamber may be even stronger still…
